I travel 250 days a year and stay in the best hotel of the world. So i booked Hotel Teresa because it is a relais and Chateau Hotel. What you find there is not more than a 3 Star hotel. The first day I had the maintenance in my Suite to repair and correct all mistakes of the room. Replacing... More

We were staying after a full discussions between us about the price. Yes it's expensive. But the location is nice, the vieuw is wonderful. The hotel is a oasis in the town. Everything is perfect. Our room was large, nice decoration, up to date. The swimming pool is amazing. The bar have everything that you are waiting for...(nice, confort, menu...)... More

The hotel is as described by other reviewers - small, intimate, beautifully restored, with impeccable service. The front desk staff are a mine of information on restaurants, clubs, sights, and so on. The only real downside is that the hotel is about a 30 minute walk to the nearest subway, along a road that you would almost certainly not want... More

We stayed in the hotel for 4 days and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of the place. The hotel itself with its building and a garden makes a big difference from hustle and bustle of the beach Rio. The surrundings is more authentic too so you can swing with the Brazilian mood of Santa Teresa. We want to thank you the... More

My husband and I had an amazing experience at this hotel where we stayed for three nights during our honeymoon. The ambiance was relaxing, the food fantastic, and the staff very helpful. We enjoyed the stunning panoramic views of Rio, and particularly the gorgeous view of Christ the Redeemer from our spacious hotel room. The design of the hotel is... More

We absolutely loved this hotel which is situated atop the bucolic, airy hillside enclave of Santa Teresa – a haven for Rio’s creative and artist community. It's a newly opened eponymously named hotel. Converted by a French hotelier and now owned by the high-end chain, Relais & Chateau, the former coffee plantation lends itself perfectly to parading as Rio’s most... More

We stayed at Hotel Santa Teresa for 4 nights in January 2012. It is a beautiful hotel in a restored old building in the vibrant district of Santa Teresa. One of the great things about this area is that it is high up in the hills, so the views of Rio are really spectactular. The staff were so helpful and... More

We loved this place for all the reasons covered in prior reviews. We were incredibly well looked after and spoilt by the front desk (Carol and the boys) who arranged tours and restaurant bookings. They also got us a discount on handgliding after a booking mix up. After every trip they also made an effort to ask how it went,... More

If you have already 'done' Rio and it's beaches this hotel is a great place to stay. We stayed here for one night after a two week tour of Brazil.Having stayed by the beach ( see my review) and being very disappointed we wanted something a bit different. The hotel is set in lush surroundings with tropical plants and trees... More
